Can it be Thursday yet? I'm not greedy, don't want to fast forward to Saturday because I know once it starts this season will be over in the blink of an eye, but I'd really like to get to Thursday so I can watch quality football for five straight days.

Did anyone else notice the end? The following image flashes: "Try hard and you will stay. Those who stay will be champions." Then it fades to Keith Washington in street clothes taking his cleats from his locker. I believe it was purely coincidence, but I noticed it.
